    We had a fantastic tour visiting Mt. Rigi, Lucerne with our Boat ride. Cecilia was a great tour guide and very knowledgable. We loved the bus trip, cable car and cog train parts of the trip and found we had of lot of our own free time to hike and look around on the tour and it was very well timed. The scenery was beautiful on the mountain and also on the boat trip. We thoroughly recommend this trip

    The Mount Rigi and looks excellent, but the really bad guide, really gave us very bad directions when we were on the bus, and when he dropped us off on the cable car to Rigi, he told us to meet in the afternoon in Lucerne for the return to Zurich

    This was a great tour. So much to do and see. Note: the majority is self guided. I’d also recommend bringing warmer clothes as it’s cold on top of the mountain. A backpack and water would also be good things to bring.
